Sherpa culture

Sherpa culture is rooted in the high-altitude Himalayan regions of Nepal, where Sherpas are traditionally skilled yak herders, traders, and mountaineers. Known for their remarkable endurance and climbing expertise, Sherpas have become essential guides for mountaineering expeditions, especially on Everest. Their culture emphasizes community, respect for nature, spiritual beliefs rooted in Tibetan Buddhism, and strong family ties. Sherpas value hospitality, resilience, and a harmonious relationship with the mountains they call home. Despite their global recognition, they maintain a deep cultural identity and spiritual connection to their ancestral land.
